Do you use the Lambing Planner app?

If so, we’re looking for your feedback!

The Lambing Planner app was developed by Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and ASHEEP in 2017, based on the paper version. It provides detailed information about key dates, targets and management for each stage of the ewe reproductive cycle based on your joining date.

It has come time to update the app, and we want to hear from people who have used it. What do you like about the app, and what improvements would you like to see?

Please complete this 3 minute survey to tell us what you think.
